Canadian Heritage committee  Within minutes of tabling my bill, I had people calling my office from across the country—stakeholders like Live Nation, Ticketmaster and StubHub. They were in Queen's Park almost within 24 hours. There was a lot of interest.

Canadian Heritage committee  Kingston? The K-ROCK Centre? I'm not sure either.

I think that there needs to be a series of measures that have to take place, but I think if you had an automatic scan-in technology you wouldn't oblige the venue to have 20 tickets [Inaudible-Editor].
